Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid
$16,757
Pharmacies billed $16,757 in 2024.

314 generic and 27 brand-name prescriptions · $16,757 in drug cost.
Part D prescriptions only. The opioid rate is opioid prescriptions as a share of all this clinician's Part D prescriptions; surgeons and pain specialists run higher than others, so it is shown against the same specialty.
